Chapter 114: Musical Instruments
"Uncle, I want to build a hydraulic workshop on this river at the edge of our village, but after looking at the road, it is also suitable for the section of Chenjiazhuang. It's just that piece of land, I don't know if people sell it or not? So I want to ask the uncle to come over tomorrow and ask for me, and you can sell it or exchange it. It's up to them to see if they want it! ”
The uncle pondered for a while and asked Erya: "Do you want only this side of the river, or both?" ”
"Of course, you can get the best from both sides!"
The uncle nodded and said, "It is estimated that the land belongs to no one family, there may be several." If you buy it, the price may not be low. If you change it, your family doesn't have half a cent of land near there, so what will you exchange it for? It's better to spend a little more money and just buy it! ”
It would be more in line with Erya's intention to buy it directly with money, and immediately climbed up the pole along the uncle's pole: "Okay! Then please ask the uncle to help a lot, talk to the people well, buy it as much as possible, and the grain they planted this season will be returned to their families. ”
The uncle nodded and said, "Okay!" It's up to me. ”
"What workshop are you going to build?" The uncle followed and asked.
Erya didn't hide it, and replied directly: "Many of Xiaolong's classmates want them to play chess, let my uncle and second uncle do it." Because there were many people who wanted it, Xiaolong took money from others, which was equivalent to selling. I thought I would simply set up a workshop and let my uncle and second uncle make chess and sell it during the slack time. Multiple entries are possible, too. In addition, I also want to build another water mill, our house is more than ten miles away, there is only one mill in the town, in time for the Chinese New Year. I can't be busy, and I'm in a hurry to die. With this water mill, it's not just about rice and wheat. Even beating tofu and pressing oil is OK. ”
When I heard Erya say that the mill was built, the eyes of the uncle and the grandfather were green, and they were definitely excited! You know, they wanted to have a mill many years ago, but no one had the ability. In the past few years, I have the ability, but no one wants to do the hard work that doesn't make much money and grinds time. So, it's been delaying like this. Now that the second girl is finally willing to do this, can they not be excited?!
The uncle couldn't help but ask: "Are you serious?" ”
Erya raised her eyebrows and asked rhetorically, "Grandpa." When did I say something that wasn't delivered? ”
The uncle smiled and said happily: "It's not that I don't believe you, isn't it just that I just asked this casually, and I want to confirm it with you?!" Can I be anxious with your grandfather? ”
Grandpa Tai was also on the side, fearing that the world would not be chaotic: "That's it!" One word is not right. It's like being in a hurry. ”
Erya was squeezed by the eldest grandfather and the great-grandfather and couldn't sit still. I could only cover my head with both hands, and the wolf ran away.
The eldest grandmother returned to the hall and saw Erya running away in a hurry, so she blamed the uncle: "You too, Liu Yatou is thin-skinned, if you can't say anything well, this will scare people away!" ”
Before the uncle could explain, the grandfather shouted: "Who let her start cocking her tail without doing a few things?!" Don't talk about it, she can pay it back! ”
Big shook their heads. I didn't dare to talk back to my husband, so I could only sigh without speaking. Never mind!
Erya fled home with a ashamed face, the food at home had already been put on the table, and in addition to Wen Chao and Wen Yue sitting at the dinner table, there was also Qingzhu of Daman's family.
Qingzhu saw her aunt enter the house, followed Wen Chao and Wen Yue, and called her aunt affectionately.
Although Erya is not the kind of woman who is very enthusiastic and exposed, several children in the family are very affectionate to her. Because Erya is always very generous to children, eating, drinking, playing, and using, several children are treated equally, and there are Wenchao and Wenyue, and there are Qingzhu, Aoki, Minghao (who wants to be a son), and Mingjuan (who wants to be a son). When a few children come together, they look the same, everyone has it! I know that this aunt also likes herself. So, they love this aunt too!
Qingzhu saw that her aunt had washed up and served her to eat, so she said to her aunt: "Auntie! I'm still sleeping with Brother Chao tonight, okay? ”
"Huh!? Yes! Although Er Ya agreed to Qingzhu's request, she didn't know how to say this in her heart!
The nurse looked at the lady of the owner who was very dazed, and explained with a smile: "During the time when you were not at home, the aunt of the owner brought the little owner of Qingzhu to rest the night every night. The little proprietor of Qingzhu may be used to sleeping with the little proprietor of Wen Chao, and I want to come over to sleep again tonight! ”
Er Ya sighed, oh! So that's it! immediately said to Qingzhu: "If you are willing to sleep with Wen Chao, you will live here in the future!" After school, I will come directly with Wen Chao, and I will go over and say it tomorrow! ”
Qingzhu and Wen Chao were about to jump up happily, but Erya hurriedly stopped: "Stop!" You all give me a serious meal, and you can toss it as you like after eating! ”
The two boys squeezed their eyebrows and lowered their heads to eat, and secretly under the table in private, you kick me and I step on you. Erya knew it, but they could only act as if they didn't see it, and the children were too strict, and they lost the childlike fun they should have.
Especially Qingzhu, my father and mother are not around, I can be raised so well by my grandparents, and it is already very good that there is no psychological distortion, if I am too strict, it is not good to make the child feel disgusted!
Wen Yue was still a little smaller, and he was half-kneeling on the stool at this moment, sawing with a small rib.
Erya looked at the hard work that the youngest son ate, so she asked the nurse softly: "Auntie!" You didn't simmer these ribs for a while today? ”
The nurse replied with annoyance: "Hey! When the ribs were burned, the fire had just been erected, and then the fire became bigger, and it burned more urgently. This meat will be burned old if you are not careful, and it will not be burned no matter how you burn it, and it will be difficult to eat! ”
Erya shook her head with a smile and didn't say anything more! As soon as they finished eating, while they were still eating, Xiaohu led the three horses into the house. The three boys don't care if it's dark or not, "Wow! They all ran out to see the black beauties and black girls who hadn't come back for a long time.
This horse is also strange, he has been out for several months, and he still remembers the little master, and he keeps rubbing his head against the two little masters, and the intimacy makes people red!
Wen Chao and Wen Yue stroked a horse's head. I was reluctant to give up until I was sent to the horse pen. Qingzhu pulled the second cousin's clothes and asked the second cousin: "Uncle!" Why didn't my dad come back with you? Did he miss me? When did he say he would come back? ”
Xiaohu patiently replied to him: "Your father will be busy there for a while, waiting for the New Year." See if you can come back with us. Your dad misses you, and he bought you a lot of fun things over there, and I'll bring them out for you when I get back to the house later! ”
In fact, the things that Daman let bring are not expensive things, and there is nothing too interesting in the north at this time, that is, some pottery figurines that are more popular in the north, such as ocarinas that can be blown off, tumblers made of ceramics, porcelain dolls fired by ceramics, etc.
Er Ya looked at these things. I blamed myself in my heart. At that time, in that town, she was only thinking about the food store, and did not think about buying things for the children. After that, in order to prepare tools for clearing the wasteland, he was so busy that he was dizzy. All the way to go. I didn't even think about bringing anything from there for the kids. Unexpectedly, the two big men, Daman and Xiaohu, thought of it and did it!
These gadgets that were ignored by Erya and felt that they were not good, but they made several children scream excitedly.
Qingzhu bought it for him because his father bought it for him, and he also prepared shares for other brothers and sisters. It's up to him to give it away. He was proud. Kneeling on the edge of the big table, he carefully and joyfully distributed the gifts for his brothers and sisters.
He picked up the white and chubby tumbler, handed it to Wen Chao, and said, "Brother Chao, this is fun, play with you!" Wen Chao took it unceremoniously, put it on the other side of the table and began to play with the tumbler.
Qingzhu picked up a joy doll tumbler wearing a red suit, a red hat, and bowing with both hands, and handed it to Wen Yue. "Brother Xiaoyue, this red is good-looking. Here you go! Wen Yue twisted his hands and didn't answer! He said in a whisper: "Brother, the more Xiao Yue wants the one with a voice!" ”
Qingzhu knew as soon as he heard it, Wen Yue wanted an ocarina that could be played, because his father had one for everyone, and he was not embarrassed, so he immediately took out another ocarina and gave it to Wen Yue with the tumbler.
Erya looked at the ocarina in Wen Yue's hand, and remembered the flute that her master taught her at the beginning. When she came here, because she had not touched the musical instrument for a long time, she almost forgot that she could play the flute and play the erhu.
Although she had never touched the ocarina, she still wanted to try it. coaxed Wen Yue: "Xiao Yueyue, give this ocarina of yours to my mother, and see if my mother can play the tune, okay?" ”
Wen Yue was mainly curious because of this ability to make a sound, since his mother wanted to blow, he couldn't ask for it, so he immediately stuffed the ocarina into his mother's hand.
Erya first covered the blowing of various holes and tried the high and low syllables. After that, he played the famous ocarina song "The Original Scenery of Hometown" played by the Japanese ocarina master.
Although it was not very familiar and blew a little intermittently, several children, Xiaohu and the nurse were all stunned and looked at the extremely magical Erya in their eyes.
Erya was a little embarrassed by their surprised appearance, and reluctantly finished blowing, pretending to be indifferent and said: "If you can't blow it, you can't do it, it's so ugly?!" ”
Xiaohu was the first to react and hurriedly said, "Listen to it!" It's not bad at all. I didn't expect you to blow this? ”
A few boys shouted, "Mother! Blow and blow again! The more you have to listen! ”
"Auntie, if you blow one more, I really want to hear it!"
"Mother! Blow, blow, blow! We all want to hear it! ”
Erya had to blow it again, but this time it was much smoother and felt better.
After blowing, Erya returned the ocarina to Wen Yue, and said to a few children: "This ocarina, my mother is really not familiar with it, wait for Ming'er's mother to cut a bamboo and make a few bamboo flutes." When the time comes, I will teach you to play the flute, and it will sound much better than this one. Don't be lazy! ”
A few boys looked at Erya with sparkling eyes and nodded. Qingzhu asked uneasily, "Auntie! Can I learn from you too? ”
The second girl touched the little guy's head, "Of course! Teach you to blow for half an hour every night! Don't be annoyed when the time comes. ”
Qingzhu shook his head, and Xiaohu also asked weakly on the side: "Daughter-in-law!" I want to learn too! (To be continued......)
