Chapter Eighty-Seven: Misery on the Prairie
Fried salted fish noodles, it feels really good, Huigui and Huifu eat full of fragrant.
The second girl chatted with the second girl while eating: "Maybe in a while, your second aunt's mother's family will also come over to pull water!" ”
Wen Yue watched Grandma eat, and hurriedly stretched out his hand to Grandma's bowl, eager to grab the bowl in front of him.
Erya controlled the little guy's little paws and said to her mother, "Come on! My second aunt's house also has a well!
Our Zhuangzi's wells have been given to the peaches once, and all the peaches have been left with no sand at all. Unless the heavens are going to be extinct, our well will not be dry for a while. ”
Her father sighed and said, "Alas! They all blame me for being late! At that time, when your peach well, when I asked if I wanted a peach, I answered at the time, and I didn't follow the peach! Alas! ”
The grandfather counted down his son: "What are you sighing for? Isn't it just a bit of a task! It's not like you can't get water to eat?! Hurry up and eat, your mother is still hungry at your eldest brother's house! ”
"Hey!" The second girl was busy eating wildly.
Erya asked her mother in a low voice: "Grandma still doesn't want to come and live?" ”
Her mother chewed the fish fillet and swallowed it before answering Erya: "The old lady is stubborn!" Although your uncle's family has also built a new house, they have a lot of children! But your grandmother likes to squeeze together with them, saying that she is used to living and doesn't want to move the nest. ”
After speaking, he leaned into Erya's ear, and with a snicker, he whispered: "Your grandfather is really anxious now, and he has to run several times a day." Hey hey"
Erya also quietly bit her ear: "You gloat, I'll tell grandma to go!" ”
Her mother whispered very, very quietly: "Your grandmother is beautiful! Every day, I wait for your grandfather to come over like a little mistress waiting for a little lover, and I am so happy that my aunt can't help it, so she told me secretly. ”
Erya couldn't help it. "Poof!" As soon as you burst into laughter, you can laugh out loud!
Grandpa heard them talk about grandma before, so he knew that they might be talking about them next! He said angrily: "What's so funny?!" You can still laugh at such a great drought! ”
The second girl pursed her lips and held back a smile, nodded solemnly, and let out a "Hmm!" from her nose. Well! Voice.
Her mother laughed secretly and almost squirted the noodles out of her mouth.
Huigui Huifu ate quickly and had already put down the bowl. I'm going to fetch water.
They filled the car with two large tanks of water. And when he had filled four more buckets, he was going home.
As soon as they finished breakfast, Erya began to cook. They filled the water and cooked the second meal.
Knowing that they would not be able to eat for a while, he put the rice and vegetables in a pot and asked them to take them back to eat.
It's so much trouble for them to get some water. Of course, if you can save trouble, you can save some trouble!
On the head of Layue, Anzi and Xiaolong suddenly came back from the county academy.
Erya asked Xiaolong in surprise: "Why didn't you bring a letter for us to pick up?" How did you come back so early. Didn't you put it until the end of last year? ”
Xiaolong put down his bookcase and backpack and replied to his sister-in-law: "Our college has no water to eat, so we have to call us all back." Gentlemen are worried! Is our school gone? ”
"We still have water to eat at home, but we didn't put it! Did the academy say that. When will next year pass? ”
Xiaolong was worried, and said listlessly: "Alas! We will have to wait for the drought to pass before we can go back! ”
Er Ya patted Xiaolong's shoulder. "That's it! Why are you so listless?! It's the same to learn with Mr. Xiao at home, as long as you really love to learn. Do you still have the opportunity to learn? ”
Xiaolong nodded helplessly, and didn't see his brother everywhere, so he asked Erya: "Huh! Sister-in-law! What about my brother? ”
"He's gone to the prairie and won't be back until early next spring."
Xiaolong complained in frustration: "No wonder, they haven't seen me for so long, and they don't send me anything." I thought you had forgotten about me! ”
Erya really forgot to send something to Xiaolong, and the winter clothes were brought over by the third uncle.
At the moment, he defended himself with a weak heart: "What do you think about all day long! Isn't this a big drought, there are a lot of things to do at home, and there is no time! An Zina, second uncle, didn't they also have no one to go over? ”
Xiaolong pretended to be very indifferent and said, "Hmph! As long as you don't want me anymore, it's fine! ”
Erya didn't want to explain too much to him, so she handed Wen Yue to Xiaolong: "Hold!" I'm going to cook for you, haven't you eaten yet? How did you get back? Did you go back with someone, or did you come back in a carriage that you hired yourself? ”
Xiaolong hugged Wen Yue and replied, "I came back with a few classmates in the town and hired a carriage together!" Sister-in-law, I want to eat braised chicken, big fat sausage, sauerkraut fish"
"Ouch! Mother! When is this time when do you still have to order? You should be thankful for some meat to eat. Erya unceremoniously interrupted Xiaolong's words.
After eating, Xiaolong took Wen Chao to the school in the courtyard next door to find his little teacher.
Erya helped the nurse at home, cleaned up Xiaolong's room, laid out the bedding, sheets, quilt covers, and pillow covers.
He also asked the nurse to go to the public bathroom built later to boil water, and wash Xiaolong's hair and bathe. He also took out all the little dragon's clothes to dry.
The second aunt's family is also busy with Anzi, and the mother-in-law and daughter-in-law are very busy cooking rice, boiling water, tidying up the room, and making beds.
This year's New Year, not because of the drought, everyone is still doing New Year's poop, drying, killing pigs, and constantly busy to prepare for the New Year.
During the New Year's greetings, everyone sat together and talked about the most not about this drought, but about the food left by the family because of Erya, and I was happy!
"Hey! We are all our own family, so it doesn't matter if we talk about it! My family's food is almost enough for our family to feed for five or six years.
I'm not afraid that it won't rain on this day, but I'm worried about my relatives, and when the time comes, if I come over to ask for something, can I give it? How can you afford to give it? ”
"My family also left a lot of food, and when my relatives came, I gave it with my conscience! Otherwise, there really is a three-long and two-short, and our own hearts are not comfortable! ”
"I don't care so much! If it's not a close relative, I don't care if it's a kiss who usually leaves again! ”
"Hey! We are also redundant, when our own family is poor, we are worried about our own family. Home sometimes. and worry about other people's homes. Isn't this a snake biting the bench - how venomous?! ”
"Hahaha! Really! ”
In the third year of junior high school, the second aunt and several aunts came back, and the second girl was ready to go back to her parents' house in the fourth year of junior high school, so today, I also went to the uncle's house to help the eldest aunt with dinner.
The second aunt stood next to Erya, watching Erya busy with vegetables while telling Erya about her daughter Zhigui: "How do you say their family lives?"
Zhigui Yueyue handed over two taels of silver. It's been five or six years. How could there be no money at home? This grain has not been eaten until the New Year, and it is said that there is no food! Send my family Zhigui back to borrow food.
I was so angry that I didn't give it! As a result, they really did it, and they were stunned to let my family Zhigui go back to his parents' house! ”
Erya asked the second aunt while chopping vegetables: "What does the eldest cousin think?" Why not split up? She's not without money now? The eldest cousin-in-law is left to treat the eldest cousin like this? ”
The second aunt replied hatefully: "Their turtle grandsons. All of them are like monkeys, and they all know that Zhigui has money in his hands, and he is not separated from each other.
Either Zhigui will take out a hundred taels of silver before dividing the family.
Your eldest cousin-in-law. Of course, he wanted to split up, but he was afraid of his father. I didn't dare to say it explicitly, but I knew that I was making Zhigui behind my back. ”
"In that case, then the eldest cousin doesn't have to go back, just let me live in your house. It's okay if you don't come to live in our house.
It won't be long before the eldest cousin-in-law will naturally come over, and when the time comes, let them buy a field here, cultivate and build a house, and naturally separate. ”
The second aunt was quite excited at first. When he thought about it, he shook his head and said, "No! Her mother-in-law is shameless, she can really do things to go to Zhigui's house to grab things! ”
"That's how it is spent at home. Anyway, there is no need to cultivate in the drought now, and the province has no food to eat, and it has to flee the famine.
You just take care of your eldest cousin, and the rest of his family, you go out, and make sure that no one says you're wrong.
The eldest cousin was sent back by them, not by you. ”
The second aunt smiled: "This method is good! I'd like to see how my eldest son-in-law will please both sides this time! ”
"Why didn't my eldest cousin come today?"
The second aunt said with some annoyance: "She is embarrassed! Say, your uncle's family, what's so embarrassing! Look at her! I had to let her aunts cry at home, so I was willing. ”
The second aunt then said with pride: "This time her grandmother is really soft, I have to stay in our family's grain, and her grandmother scolds Sang and Huai in the yard every day." Now like a good grandson, when I was at home, she didn't dare to enter the door. ”
Er Ya sighed in her heart, good things and bad things, until the end, who can predict it?!
I don't know how Xiaohu is doing? Why hasn't there been any news from there?
That harrier is tantamount to raising for nothing, and I originally thought that it would be good if I could use the harrier to send messages.
I don't know that this thing has to train the transmission route first, otherwise it won't be able to reach its destination if it flies blindly like this.
There was a special message in the dart board, but they didn't dare to pass it over there, for fear of being eaten by the eagles on the grassland.
It's not easy to train a messenger harrier, and they all have to cherish it like a wife!
There are a few little tigers on the grassland who are remembered, and life is really difficult.
It's cold! The snow fell heavily a few days ago, and it didn't reach people's knees, so it was very difficult to walk a step.
I eat barbecue, stew, and finger meat every day, and there is no meal that is not meat.
A few people ate it, and when they saw the meat, they wanted to vomit.
The eldest son of the Chen family just finished vomiting outside the bag, so he grabbed a handful of snow and wiped his mouth, closed his eyes and entered the bag, really didn't dare to look at the meat on the table again!
Xiaohu and Daman are obviously better than Chen Dagongzi, although they don't want to eat much, but at least they don't vomit!
Li Darttou and his brothers were more at ease with what they encountered, and they all took a knife in their right hand and dragged the meat in their left hand, cut a piece and ate a bite, and then drank a sip of fire. only looked at the little tigers and stretched their necks and throats.
Li Darttou said funny: "Eat! What to see? Otherwise, it will be even colder at night. Some eat and some drink, our life is good enough. ”
Xiaohu and Daman have no choice, and it is also it if they eat it or not.
It's better to force yourself to eat, otherwise you will be hungry and cold at night, and it will not be pleasant.
A few people ate a few pieces of meat with soju, but then they really couldn't eat it, so they didn't force themselves. I didn't spit it out.
More than a dozen people slept until midnight, and in the haze, they heard the sound of a trumpet, which was particularly urgent.
More than a dozen people woke up at once, quickly got dressed, and took their weapons.
Li Darttou stretched out his hand to signal everyone not to go out first, he first used his sword to pick up a kick of the curtain, followed the reflection of the snow, to see that there were no shadows on both sides, and there were no shadows in front of him, and then motioned for everyone to rush out with him.
