Chapter 2 Metamorphosis

86_86276 In the sultry evening, the acquaintance of the tree screamed tirelessly, Xia Ruo and Hongxia sat on the bridge, and in the middle was the big herring in the bucket, the herring seemed to be unaware of the fact that he was arrested, and was still turning leisurely in the bucket that had just covered the bottom of the bucket, although he couldn't turn around.

Hongxia clicked and took a bite of the apple, and looked at the fish in the bucket with a pitiful look, what to do, I really want it.

Xia Ruo was also a little embarrassed, everyone hadn't eaten meat for many days, but in the end, he was a mature adult in his heart, and it didn't seem a good thing to be with a poor child like this, thinking of this, Xia Ruo scratched his head: "You caught this fish, you can take it home, but how are you going to take it?" ”

made a decision, Xia Ruo also relaxed, the fish is so slippery, it is not appropriate to use someone else's bucket.

Hongxia didn't expect Xia Ruo to be so refreshing, and she was a little embarrassed for a while, they were good friends, Xia Ruo was so generous, and she was worried about how to bring it back, she was too embarrassed, "Then let my grandma boil the fish soup, let's be half of our family." "Thinking about it, this is the only way to be more appropriate, and Hongxia feels a little better.

Xia Ruo nodded, and the two of them found a tattered plastic bag from the ground, put the fish in it, and happily drove the sheep home.

When Xana saw them leaving, she squatted down to pull the weeds with peace of mind, the two girls didn't look like girls at all, and she was really afraid that they would cause some trouble if they went crazy in the river. Thinking of her worry about Xia Ruo, Xia Na angrily threw the pulled grass aside and caused trouble.

Xia Ruo drove the sheep to the sheepfold, closed the door with his hand, called Mom twice, no one agreed and went to the room and kitchen where the sundries were placed in the Westinghouse, this time has not come back, Mom should be working in the field has not come back, as for the sister, she is the master who can play better than herself, she does not expect her to come back before dinner.

Take out half a bowl of rice from the west house, take out the steamed buns in the kitchen, add three scoops of water to the pot on the ground, Xia Ruo squatted in front of the stove and began to cook on the fire, rural people are not so particular, it is good to work in the field and come back with hot rice to eat, so cooking is not troublesome, thinking of the hard work of her mother and sister, Xia Ruo really couldn't help but go to the west house to get four eggs, and picked a few peppers and eggplants in the vegetable field by the courtyard wall to make two dishes.

Cut the eggplant into strips and put it in the pot with the steamed buns, the rice that was originally put in the water has begun to tumble up and down, and the rising heat is fumigating the steamed buns and eggplants on it.

Seeing that the time was almost up, Xia Ruo brushed out the small pot of stir-frying, and when the fire was lit, the small pot was heated, Xia Ruo poured the oil into it, and quickly beat the eggs evenly, skillfully put them into the pot and stir-fry, and after a while, the aroma drifted out.

"It's so fragrant, if you've already cooked it." Hongxia came to the kitchen with a sneer, looked at the golden eggs in the pot, and couldn't help swallowing her saliva, they have two big hens that lay eggs, but the eggs were saved and sold by grandma, and they really couldn't eat two eggs a month, so they were hungry when they smelled the fragrance.

Xia Ruo brought out a shiny egg for her, and then withdrew the fire from the stove: "Why are you here, you didn't wait at home to make fish." "When I was a child, the two of them were half a pound and eight taels, and they were both little gluttonous cats.

"My grandmother and my dad haven't come back yet, there's no one at home, and I don't know how to cook." It was absolutely impossible for her to put the fish in the bucket until tomorrow to eat, and if it wasn't for the trouble of making the fish, she would have already started to cook the fish in the pot.

"I'm really convinced." It's hard for her to eat eggs in her mouth, and she doesn't forget the fish in her hand, Xia Ruo took the fish outside funny, took out the kitchen knife on the board and sharpened it by the well, and stretched out her hand to make a gesture on the fish.

"Ruoruo, you also want to eat meat," Hongxia squeezed to Xia Ruo's side with an excited face, but seeing Xia Ruo's small arms and hands, and then looking at the slippery and slippery fish that An'an shared, it was really a little uncertain whether this fish could be killed honestly. "Otherwise, let's wait until my grandma and they come back." Seeing that the sky was darkening, Hongxia was a little drumming in her heart.

Xia Ruo didn't speak, and as soon as the knife was raised, he used the knife surface to stun the fish on the ground.

Hongxia's scalp was numb, and then she couldn't hold back when she looked at Xia Ruo's casual face, how could Xia Ruo, who was so calm and killing fish, feel a little panicked.

"No, I've cleaned it up, and it's convenient for your grandma to cook it." This Xia Ruo is purely kind, Hongxia has no mother, and the housework is handled by her elderly grandmother, and it will be six or seven o'clock when she comes back from the field, and she will be tired for a day to clean up the fish and toss it.

Xia Ruo moved his wrist, looked at the fish calmly, frowned, shook off the idea that the fish's eyes were a little sad, and came to the fish's head sharply. The disembowelment below, the belly, the scraping of the fish scales, and the washing is done in one go.

Hongxia stepped back and retreated, although Xia Ruo was handling the fish in her hands, why did she have the expression that Xia Ruo took for granted when she killed the fish, this is not the expression that a qualified foodie should have.

"Xiao Ruo, what are you doing?" As soon as Zhao Lan came back, she saw that in the yard that had been shrouded in night, her second daughter and her playmate, who had just caused trouble, were squatting at the kitchen door and fiddling with something, her brows furrowed slightly, but she didn't say anything, and put the pesticide box in her hand on the side of the courtyard wall.

Xia Ruoyi looked at the person and called out in surprise: "Mom, you're back." Then he happily scooped half a basin of water into the basin, and took soap to let Zhao Lan wash his hands. Now Zhao Lan is in her thirties, except for being slightly tired, she has not left too many traces of time on her body.

Xia Ruo's memory is not bad, but when she lives to the current age of her parents, she only remembers what they look like in front of them, and she forgets all about her former youthful appearance.

Xia Ruo thought that the children were all selfish, before he took his own responsibility.

Goodbye to her young mother, Xia Ruo was not panicked and uneasy, some were grateful and excited, perhaps, it was still too late, no matter how long it was, she could clearly remember what kind of changes her parents had experienced who had been by her side.

My own daughter understands for herself, why is she so well-behaved today, and after a little doubt, Zhao Lan figured it out, she just got into trouble, can she be honest for a while.

"What are you doing? Xiao Ruo went to the hall to serve steamed buns. Zhao Lan wiped her hands while looking at the ground, and was startled when she saw the fish scales and bright red blood on the ground: "Where did you get the fish, who killed it?" ”

"Auntie is back, we caught a fish in the river, my grandma hasn't come back yet......" Hongxia glanced at Xia Ruo, who was silent, and wanted to run away when she moved her steps.

"I said why did your grandma call you just now, you didn't answer, it turned out that you were hiding here to kill fish, I'll help you get it, you go and sue your grandma first, she is in a hurry." Zhao Lan wiped the water droplets on her face, and was about to get the knife on the ground, but the moment she lowered her head, her brain was dizzy, and her steps were a little unsteady.

"Mom, what's wrong with you?" Xia Ruo was startled and hurriedly helped Zhao Lan, and while pulling to the hall, he said to Hongxia: "The fish is killed, you can take it back and cook it." ”

"I'll go find Dongdong's mother and come over to show my aunt." Hongxia was taken aback by Zhao Lan's appearance, and ran to the yard next door with her feet raised.

"Hongxia doesn't need it, my aunt is just tired." Zhao Lan wiped the sweat on her head, she has been taking care of the girl with a foot injury in the infirmary of Dongdongjia next door for the past two days, lest she leave something wrong with others, and finally sent her home safely this afternoon, thinking that the crops at home should be sprayed with pesticides, she hurriedly dispensed medicine and went to the field, she should be tired.

"Mom, do you feel nauseous and uncomfortable, don't you feel pesticide poisoning?" Helped Zhao Lan to sit on the sofa, and Xia Ruo took the cold water and put it to Zhao Lan's mouth.

"One thing, don't make a fuss," Seeing her daughter's frightened face, Zhao Lan pulled out a weak smile, and then said: "Xiao Ruo is obedient, you can cook some rice soup, and your sister and sister will be hungry when they come back in a while." ”

"Mom, don't worry, the meal is ready, don't talk for a while." After saying this, Xia Ruo shouted through the wall: "Auntie, my mother is sick, come and take a look." ”

Dongdong's mother hurriedly jumped over the wall when she heard this, there was a low wall between the two of them, and they were usually like a family, so it was not polite to talk about Xia Ruolai: "Look at how tired your mother is, you still don't fight for it......"

After hurriedly looking at Zhao Lan, he sighed: "Sister-in-law, I didn't say you, my brother is not at home, and you don't pay attention to your body too much. ”

Zhao Lan smiled: "It's okay, isn't it the past two days that things have come together, I just can't be idle, and there will be nothing to do when I finish taking the medicine." ”

Dongdong's mother glared at Zhao Lan, but she couldn't get angry, and said helplessly: "It's nothing, it is estimated that the pesticide splashed on the skin, a little pesticide poisoning." "There is no protective measure for pesticides in rural areas, and it is inevitable that they will get on their bodies, and it is common to feel uncomfortable.

After speaking, Chong Xia Ruo glared: "If you don't hurry up to cook, just wait for your mother to cook for you." ”

Xia Ruo touched her nose and smiled bitterly: "Auntie, it's already done, or you can try my craftsmanship." "When I grew up, I couldn't hear such a reprimand again, but now that I listen to it, my nose is a little sour, and I don't know how much trouble I added to my parents when I was a child.

"Forget it, your mother is working hard, why don't you let her worry less, our family still has something to do, go over first." Dongdong's mother smiled at her, what kind of craftsmanship do children have, but fortunately, they didn't say angry things without being sensible, and the family has nothing to say, and it's not good to worry too much about yourself.

Hongxia was relieved to see that Aunt Zhao Lan was fine, and just heard her grandmother calling her home from behind, so she hurriedly went to the kitchen door to pick up the fish: "If I take the fish away, I will send fish soup to my aunt to drink in a while." ”

"No need, there weren't many big fish, Hongxia shouldn't run here so late, you should go to school tomorrow." Zhao Lan hurriedly shouted, it is rare to eat some meat in this year's festival, she will not lose other people's children for the sake of her own children.

Hongxia didn't know if she heard it or not, and she ran away in the blink of an eye.

Suddenly returning to his childhood, even if he was facing his own relatives, Xia Ruo was also a little uneasy in his heart, seeing that the aunt next door and Hongxia were gone, his heart began to drum, his own mother would not find out that he was abnormal.

Knowing her daughter Mo Ruo's mother, Zhao Lan can't see that her daughter is honest, although she has caused trouble, she has long lost the idea of scolding, her husband is not at home all the year round, human contacts, farm work in the field, housework and other trivial matters have long worn out her patience, and the education of children is becoming more and more simple and rude, causing trouble and beating up, not studying well......

Xia Ruoke didn't know that she had been diligent once, which made her mother think so much, seeing that Zhao Lan had not spoken, she thought she was tired, so she hurriedly said: "Mom, then you rest for a while, I'll go to serve dinner, and my sister and they should come back." ”

"Well, call your sister back, I don't know if I'm crazy." Zhao Lan nodded, took a sip of water by herself, and finally ironed it in her heart.

The younger sister was playing at the fourth aunt's house behind, Xia Ruo shouted through the wall, and the younger sister who was playing crazy in the fourth aunt's house responded impatiently, but she also refused the words of the fourth aunt to stay for dinner and ran back home, and the door happened to meet Xia Na who came back, and several people in the family finally gathered.

Taking advantage of their hand-washing, Xia Ruo took out the food in the pot and brought it to the hall, and hurriedly pulled out a smile from Zhao Lan's surprised eyes: "Mom, don't be angry, I will cook in the future, okay?" ”

"It's just you, do things for three minutes, sleep today, and forget what you said today tomorrow." Xana took a towel and wiped her hands, although her tone was still unkind, but it was much better.

"That's it, only by believing in you can you have ghosts." Xia Mingming echoed vigorously, saw the food on the table, took a steamed bun and took a bite without wiping his hands, took the chopsticks and was about to pick up the vegetables, but was knocked on the hand by Xia Na. "Our mother hasn't eaten yet, why are you in a hurry?"

Xia Mingming muttered and smiled at Zhao Lan: "Mom, hurry up and eat, I'm starving to death." ”

"Yes, you've made a lot of effort today, so hurry up and eat." Although she was still a little uncomfortable, Zhao Lan also picked up the chopsticks and ate it, the work in the field was like this, either tired or idle, she had been revolving around the land since she was a child, and it was nothing to get used to.

Seeing that there were delicious eggs today, Xia Mingming, who had never treated herself badly, quickly took a piece and put it in her mouth, she hadn't eaten an egg for many days.

"Eat slowly, it's even more starving to death, why don't you lose anything at home." Seeing her little daughter's eating appearance Zhao Lan was distressed and funny, although the family economy is not very rich, but for this little daughter has never been lost, her two sisters have not enjoyed the treatment of pocket money, but they will occasionally give her some change to satisfy their hunger, how do you know that she does not eat enough delicious food, and has developed a bad habit of picking her mouth, which is really a headache.

"Mom, you're talking about me again." Xia Mingming put the egg in the steamed bun, began to eat the cold eggplant, and after eating half of the steamed bun, he said very seriously: "Mom, let your second child cook in the future, but it should be the same as today, it is very delicious." ”

She can tell the difference, Xia Ruo was amused by her tone: "Okay, I cook and you cook the pot, and you have nothing to do every day." ”

"Who has nothing to do, I have to do my homework and study," the little one said that she was studying very seriously, as if she was going to do something big: "I can't count on your grades, and my family is pointing to me to get into college." ”

Children naturally don't understand what the concept of being admitted to college is, but they are often talked about by Zhao Lan, Xia Mingming understands that being admitted to college is promising, and being admitted to college can make her mother happy, and she doesn't have to worry about eating and drinking and not having to farm and work when she is admitted to college, plus she has good grades and scores double hundred points every time, so she is also very confident in herself.

"What nonsense, don't call me sister." Zhao Lan, who couldn't stand it, knocked her daughter with chopsticks, and the more she talked, the more she didn't look like it, it was really bad for her.

If it was before, Xia Ruo would have pinched her a long time ago, but firstly, she was an adult after all, and secondly, she was right, her grades have always been neither high nor low, and she has already played extraordinarily when she got into the second book, and her sister has a real brain, and the ugly thing is that her brain turns slowly, although diligence can make up for it, in the end she suffers a little, and finally went to a local normal school, and her sister, who was pinned on by the family, failed to be admitted to a good university as she wished, but was used to a bad problem by the family, and was vain compared to her, Hobby dressing up, when I was in junior high school, I didn't start skipping classes to go to Internet cafes, I didn't take my studies to heart, every time I said that she was a set, her parents were far away, and I always thought that her grades were as good as ever.

Although she is also angry, Xia Ruo will not sprinkle this fire on Xia Mingming, who is still a child, although she is a little willful now, she is also sensible, as long as she pays more attention and guidance on the road of her growth, she will definitely not be able to go the wrong way.

"If you don't scream, don't scream, I'm not uncommon for her to call." Xia Ruo rolled her eyes and drank the soup in the bowl by herself: "Whoever eats last will wash the dishes." "In order to prevent children from watching TV and skipping meals, this is the rule in their family.

Hearing her words, Xia Mingming glared at Xia Ruo fiercely, but she withdrew her gaze from constantly looking at the TV, and sped up her meal, she didn't want to waste time watching TV to wash the dishes
