Chapter 45: The Little Sheep Cart

On the fourth day of the new year, the eldest aunt and the second aunt wanted to go back to their parents' house, and Hongye also went to her grandmother's house.

There can be no one at home, if any relatives come to pay New Year's greetings, they can't take the "Iron General" to other people, and there are cattle, sheep, wild boars, yellow wolves, chickens and many other livestock have to be managed.

The little couple didn't rest at home, Xiaohu was busy with the livestock in the backyard, and Erya took a part of the wool out and cleaned it with alkaline water.

The process of cleaning only knew that the wool also had impurities. It doesn't seem to be all sheep's wool, but also hard-tied goat's hair.

Erya picks out the hard wool while washing. The cleaned wool is wrapped up in a mosquito net, tied between two trees to dry, and rummaged from time to time.

Xiaolong followed the uncle's family to relatives, there were only two of them at home, and the meal was simple, the leftover meal was hot on the first day, and the salted duck and salted goose were ready-made. Stir-fry a garlic egg, a small fish boiled tofu.

At the dinner table, Erya put the dishes away, and shouted strangely at the little tiger who was shaking the wool fluffy in the yard: "The child is his father!" It's time to eat! ”

Xiaohu entered the house and sat down and picked up chopsticks. was very dissatisfied and muttered: "You know that you use me as a little dragon to coax, and you are not as good as a little dragon to me!" You said you were going to weave that ** for me a long time ago, and I haven't seen you do it until now. ”

"Good, good! After eating, I will knit for you, knit you the most beautiful one, and make you look great and handsome! All right! ”

Xiaohu is obviously very beautiful in his heart, but he has to pretend not to care arrogantly, "Hmm! So be it! ”

"That's right, little tiger! After you've eaten, go and get the little dragon's cart back. ”

Xiaohu "cut", "We still need to worry about it, Xiaolong and Anzi have been staring at the uncle!" Today, Xiaolong followed, do you think you are going to leave your relatives? That's with Uncle with a small car. He's getting more and more able to toss now! ”

Erya thinks that Xiaolong is becoming more and more like a boy, shouldn't boys go up to the tree to pound the bird's nest, go down to the river to touch fish and shrimp, and be naughty and mischievous?!

"And oh! If you visit again, I will buy two more sheep, one male and one female. If you want to sell lambs, I will make mutton hot pot for you to eat in the winter this year. ”

"Originally, the sheep seller was going to sell it, but I didn't want that much. I'll go over tomorrow and ask the day after tomorrow. ”

"I'm going to your second aunt's house tomorrow, I may not be able to go!"

"I can go! That house was on our way to my second aunt's house. ”

"That's good! Bring the money tomorrow, and if you can buy it, bring it back with you when you come back. ”

"Okay!"

After eating and cleaning, Xiaohu pulled Erya to play chess again.

Shortly after noon, the eldest aunt and her family returned.

Er Ya hurriedly stood up: "Auntie, why did you come back so early?" Didn't I say I could, what are you anxious about? ”

Auntie: "Ouch! "Don't say it, Xiaolong, this fucking guy, has been bsetting his uncle since he left early in the morning, and he made a detour to get the car back." When I arrived at my grandmother's house, I hadn't eaten yet, so I was clamoring to come back. My mother and brother and daughter-in-law coaxed him to shout, and they couldn't coax him to take out the things in the mouse hole and give him food! No, as soon as I put down the bowl, I ran back in a hurry. ”

Er Ya glared at the little dragon dragging the cart, "Little dragon! If that's the case, I won't dare to do this and that with you in the future. ”

The uncle looked at Xiao Long Yan with his head bowed, as if he knew that he had made a mistake. I didn't dare to look up at people or squeak, my right hand grabbed the handrail of the car, and I was nervous for a while, but I was reluctant to let go.

This hurts the uncle, "Okay, okay! Isn't he still young, and he will be sensible when he grows up. ”

He reached out again and carried Xiaolong to the car and sat down, and found a hemp rope to tie to the front tab.

"Xiaolong, sit down, the big uncle is running away with you!"

Xiaolong secretly looked at his sister-in-law, and when he saw that his sister-in-law didn't glare at him anymore, he grinned. Erya was made to cry and laugh by him, and stepped forward and gently pinched his cheeks, "You can't make such trouble with uncle and aunt in the future, you know?" ”

Xiaolong responded crisply: "Got it!" So I'm riding to Dabra now? ”

How to let the uncle pull the car for Xiaolong, the second girl hurriedly called Xiaohu who was talking to Daman: "Xiaohu, you come over to pull the car for Xiaolong, I will protect you." ”

He said to the uncle again: "Uncle, you go and rest, I will take Xiaohu and him to play." ”

The uncle did not leave, but stood by and watched Xiaohu pull the car around the yard, and Xiaolong giggled.

The uncle remembered that he didn't seem to have made a yoke for the sheep to pull the cart, so he shouted at the second girl who was following the cart in circles: "Little tiger daughter-in-law, you haven't made a yoke for the sheep yet, and you won't need this car tomorrow!" ”

"No, I've already made a strap with a cloth strap, which is better than a yoke."

"Oh! That's good! ”

Hongguo watched Xiaolong ride in the car and had fun, and wanted to sit and play.

Erya hugged Xiaolong down and asked Hongguo to sit on it and take a look. It's a pity that I wear a lot of clothes in winter, and Hongguo is already ten years old, so I really can't sit in this car, so I have to get off the car with sadness.

The eldest aunt was still saying cool words on the side: "Roar! Whose eldest daughter is this, she still thinks she is small! Why, can't you sit down? ”

Hongguo stomped her feet, hugged her father's arm and coquettishly: "Dad! You can make one for me too! Father! My dad is the dearest. Father! ”

The eldest uncle looked at the girl with a sour tooth and shook her buttocks, "Do you really think you're young?" It's so big, what kind of car do you want? No way! Her father, don't cling to her! ”

Erya smiled and told SΓΉ Hongguo: "Hongguo, don't ask the uncle, I'll buy a donkey and come back after a while, and let you ride the donkey to play." ”

Hongguo jumped three feet high, "Great, sister-in-law, I'll play with you in the future!" It's okay not to be with my mother. ”

The eldest aunt smiled and was about to step forward to hit her, but Hongguo ran to her father's place to seek refuge!

When the sun was still high, the second aunt and her family also returned.

"Sister-in-law, you're all home!? I thought that your mother's house was far away, and I would definitely come back late, I was afraid that Xiaohu and his wife would not be busy at home, so they ran back after eating a bowl. ”

Uncle just wanted to say Xiaolong's story again! Thinking that his uncle was distressed, he couldn't bear to say anything, but smiled and said, "It's not long since I came back!" ”

Anzi saw Xiaolong's car and excitedly "Whoa!" He screamed and shouted at his father: "Dad! Father! Come and help me pull the cart! I want to take a car! ”

Xiangzi saw that his father was talking to his uncle, so he stepped forward and picked up the rope on the ground, pulled the cart and trotted. The little dragon ran after the car, screaming as he ran, and he couldn't hear the words in the yard clearly.

The second uncle was about to teach Anzi a lesson, but the eldest uncle stopped him: "Let them play!" After this freshness, it's all right! ”

Er Ya went back and took the straps for the sheep, tied the straps, and bolted them to the pull ring of the cart. Then she led the sheep to a large open space in the farm, and she pulled the sheep in front of her, and slowly trained the sheep to pull the cart.

Xiaohu sat in the car, Anzi followed, and after a while, Anzi sat and Xiaolong followed.

Not for a while. The children who went out to pay New Year's greetings all came back, and when they saw the sheep pulling the cart, they all followed curiously and excitedly, pulling a long big tail behind them.

"Little Dragon! Let me sit down for a while, okay? "A little boy who is about the same as Anzi follows Xiaolong to plead!

Xiaolong looked at Brother Anzi sitting in the car, and was puzzled: "Now it's Brother Anzi who is sitting!" ”

"Then when Anzi comes down, I'll sit again, okay?"

Xiaolong nodded reluctantly, "Okay then!" You can only sit like this for a while! The little dragon stretched out his little finger and pinched a little bit of it with his left hand.

"Good! Little Dragon is so good! The pleading child ran with Anzi excitedly, and he couldn't wait to pull Anzi down immediately and let him sit!

Xiaolong's side is in trouble, and all the children are surrounding Xiaolong, "Xiaolong, I'm going to sit for a while!" ”

"Xiaolong, sit for me for a while! I'll go to the house and get something delicious for you. ”

"Xiaolong, Xiaolong, sit for me for a while, I have something fun at home, let you play together."

"Xiaolong, you see this is the purse my sister gave me, I'll give it to you, can you let me sit in your car for a while?"

Although they were all familiar children in Zhuangzi, they all surrounded him all of a sudden, chattering, and Xiaolong was still frightened. Crying and shouting to my sister-in-law: "Sister-in-law! Sister-in-law! ”

Erya thought that someone had beaten him, so he hurriedly let go. Those children were also frightened by Xiaolong's sudden burst of tears, and when they saw Erya coming, they all confessed: "We didn't touch him!" ”

"We didn't hit him either!"

"All of a sudden, he cried!"

"We just told him that we wanted to sit in the car for a while, and we really didn't hit him!"

Er Ya hurriedly stopped their gossip, picked up Xiaolong, and helped him wipe his nose. He asked, "What's wrong?" Why are you crying? Don't want them to ride in your little car? ”

Xiaolong shook his head!

"Then let's let the children sit in your car and have fun, okay!?"

Xiaolong nodded, no longer crying, but still sobbing!

Erya said to the children around, "Which of you goes back and calls two adults to come over and help you pull the cart, okay?" My lamb will be overwhelmed if it takes too long. ”

"Good!"

The children scattered and ran home to call the adults.

Several adults followed the children one after another.

"Little Tiger daughter-in-law, I heard that you let the child play in the car?"

Erya put down Xiaolong and returned with a smile: "Hey! Xiaolong played with this car, and these children also wanted to play when they saw it, so they asked them to call the adults to come and help pull the car. I've been pulling this sheep for a long time, and I'm afraid I won't be able to bear it! ”

After speaking, he asked Anzi to get out of the car, "Anzi, you bring the sheep home, and then ask your little brother to come over and help watch the car, don't break it." ”

"Hey!"

Fortunately, adults are reluctant to run too fast when they see the delicate car, for fear of breaking it.

Each family pulls their children, saying that they are running, but in fact they are jogging and walking two laps.

It soon got dark, and the children, who had not yet sat down, were crying and reluctant to go back. The adults had no choice but to light torches and make each child spin twice before it was finished.

Today is estimated to be the latest dinner in their family, and at the dinner table, the second aunt smiled and poked the second girl's head with her fingers, "You! It's really good at poking things, and the children of Zhuangzi who flirt with them cry with them. ”

"There's no way around that, sooner or later! However, today scared the little dragon! ”

Erya gave some radishes to Xiaolong, bowed his head and asked Xiaolong: "Xiaolong!" Are you scared today? ”

Xiaolong bit the meat in his mouth and shook his head.

"Oops! You can't eat too much meat at night, and when you finish eating this piece of meat, you can't eat it anymore. Come! I ate these turnips. ”

Uncle asked with concern: "Why is Xiaolong scared?" ”

"Probably all of a sudden, a lot of children surrounded him, and he wasn't used to it, so he was scared and cried, it should be fine!" Xiaohu thought that the little gentian would not be so small.

The second uncle reproached Anzi: "In the future, bring more younger brothers, don't always play by yourself!" ”

Anko nodded, "Hmm! Dao, grimacing at the little dragon. The little dragon giggled and reached out to grab Yasuko's nose.

The adults were relieved to see that Xiaolong could laugh and play, and was in a good state.
