Chapter 52: Zhou Xiaopang (Second Watch)

Zhou Xiaopang saw Zhou Changyu and became a good child in an instant, what did Zhou Changyu say, he used to despise Xia Xuege as a mud leg in the countryside, but now he is honestly sitting in the yard looking at Xiaopang and Xia Xuege's newly raised black cat toffee, how can he have the arrogant appearance before.

"Changqing is the only seedling of the second uncle's family, and he is usually spoiled, don't mind."

Zhou Changyu said, looking at the work in Xia Xue's singer, he also picked up an ear of bud rice and began to peel it.

"It's okay, I don't care, kid, it's normal to be tsundere, but it looks like he's scared of you, you put it down, this bud hasn't been picked for long, it's still damp, don't wet your hands."

"It's okay, it's easier than picking medicine, you said it like you're not a child."

Zhou Changyu said lightly, Xia Xuege couldn't help but glance at Zhou Changyu a few times, the gap between the two brothers is really big, Zhou Changyu is the kind of person who is very approachable, but a little cold, Zhou Changqing is a typical child, they are only two years old!

"What, I have flowers on my face?"

"No, curious, you are not much old, and your personality is 108,000 miles."

"Isn't it the same with death? He seems to be more ...... than I am I don't care about anything, I'm safe. ”

Zhou Changyu said, he didn't know why he suddenly wanted to compare with Lisheng, Xia Xuege nodded, the only thing Lisheng cared about was probably what to eat for the next meal, and he didn't care about anything else, just do it if he had a job, and find some work if he didn't work.

"It's noon soon, let's eat here, and when you come back, you can go and pick medicine, this bud has just come down." I made it the most delicious, you ask your Zhou Xiaopang if you want to eat it. ”

"Zhou Xiaopang? That's a fitting name! ”

Zhou Changyu nodded, Zhou Xiaopang is looking forward to Zhou Changyu's horse, Zhou Changyu wants to eat here, he naturally stays, Huaizi is relaxed, it is very difficult to serve Zhou Xiaopang, but in front of Zhou Changyu, this Zhou Xiaopang will definitely not make trouble. But the child is hot for three minutes. A fat wolf that has been raised, a little milk cat that has been all black, Zhou Xiaopang will have no freshness for a while.

"Xia Xuege, do you have anything to do at home?"

"Nope. I always have to make money to help my family. Nothing to play with. ”

"You really don't have a childhood!"

“……”

Xia Xuege admitted that she wanted to hit someone. Bad beating!

"You are a pampered young master, you don't know the price of firewood and rice, my father is busy from morning to night. I don't make money, can't I be tired of my father. ”

"Oh, so do you have anything to eat at home? I am hungry. ”

"Didn't you just find you a snack on the table? We'll have lunch in a minute, you can wait. ”

"That snack isn't tasty."

“……”

Xia Xuege is planted, is it so difficult for children to serve? Little Stone They coaxed her two pieces of candy to be happy, and they seemed to be very sensible when they were ten years old!

Xia Xuege no longer cared about Zhou Xiaopang, Zhou Xiaopang circled around Xia Xuege for a long time, and when he saw that Xia Xuege no longer ignored him, he went out to find Zhou Changyu, Xia Ziqiu and Lisheng came back, and the meal was good.

Xia Xuege made corn soup and pine nut corn, the new corn (corn is bud rice) is tender and tender, and it is very fragrant to eat, Xia Ziqiu thought that Zhou Changyu came to see Xia Xuege's face, and Zhou Changyu said that he knew that a large area of land in Xiajia Village was bought by the Zhou family and was here to collect rent.

Zhou Xiaopang is a child in the end, he is full of food and takes a nap, Xia Xuege and the three of them have nothing else to do, and it is not Zhou Changyu's turn to collect rent, so the three of them put on their backs and went into the mountain again.

"Xue Ge, I and Lisheng are going inside, don't follow, there is little fatty, nothing will happen to the two of us, you can pick wild chrysanthemums outside." You follow us, and we are worried. ”

Zhou Changyu said, Lisheng also nodded, Xia Xuege naturally did not refute, she knew little medicine, and if she went, it would be troublesome for the two of them.

The three of them parted ways, Xia Xuege went to the foot of the mountain a little farther away, there are few people here, there should be some good things, walking and walking, Xia Xuege found a bunch of fruits with thorns.

"Chestnuts!"

Xia Xue Gele, this is a good thing, she likes to eat chestnut cake the most. There is nothing fresh to eat this winter, so it's good to make chestnut cake.

After struggling to hit some with stones, Xia Xuege surrendered, his height was really bruised, so let's go home and call Xia Ziqiu to help, there are so many chestnut trees here, dig back a few trees and plant them in your yard.

"Daddy! Father! Are you not? ”

Xia Xuege shouted, Xia Ziqiu was drying budding rice.

"What's here, what's wrong Xue Ge, so urgent?"

"Dad, I've found something good, look!"

Xia Xuege put the chestnuts in front of Xia Ziqiu like an invitation, and Xia Ziqiu frowned.

"There are so many of these things on the mountain, and they can't be eaten, and they are useless, how can you say that this is a good thing, and it looks like a treasure."

"Can't eat it?"

Xia Xuege was stunned, don't people here know that chestnuts can be eaten? No wonder there are so many chestnuts in the back mountains, and no one wants them.

"Dad, this is chestnuts, you can eat them, I saw them in a study last time I went to town, that book is too expensive and I am reluctant to buy it, but it is indeed this kind of thing, it can be made into chestnut cakes, and it can be stewed with chicken, Dad, don't you know that this thing can be eaten?"

"Can you eat it? I haven't heard of it, Xue Ge, you're not mistaken, don't eat this entrance thing! ”

Xia Ziqiu was worried that Xia Xuege would admit the wrong thing and eat the harmful, Xia Xuege nodded, this is probably the only benefit she crossed, if no one really knows that this chestnut can be eaten, then she will really earn it!

"Dad, I'm sure it's this thing, otherwise, let's feed some of our chickens and ducks first, if they're okay, I'll make something according to the book."

"Okay, Xue Ge, don't try it yourself!"

Xia Ziqiu said, Xia Xuege beat the chestnuts into powder and fed them to the chickens and ducks at home in front of Xia Ziqiu. It didn't take a day or two to get Xia Ziqiu to accept that this thing could be eaten, but Xia Xuege couldn't wait, so he took a long-handled sickle for the chickens and ducks and went up the mountain to pick chestnuts.

Zhou Xiaopang woke up, didn't see Zhou Changyu, a little angry, Huaizi was in a hurry, this is not Zhou Changyu by his side, Zhou Xiaopang is not the opposite, but Huaizi is wrong, Xia Ziqiu gave Zhou Xiaopang a good place, Huaizi is strange, even the grandmother at home has a headache for Zhou Xiaopang, Xia Ziqiu seems to be very relaxed, Xia Xuege and Zhou Changyu came back from life together in the evening, Huaizi's eyebrows danced and told Zhou Changyu about Xia Ziqiu's coaxing of Zhou Xiaopang, Zhou Changyu was not surprised, Xia Xuege was a fool in the past, Coaxing is much more difficult than Zhou Xiaopang's tsundere.

It's late, Zhou Changyu wants to go back to the town, Zhou Xiaopang naturally wants to go back, and he has to come out.

"Uncle Xia, you are so good, much better than your little sister, better than my aunt and grandmother, you can also make toys, I want to come another day, do you welcome me? I also want to eat the corn you roasted. ”

Zhou Xiaopang said, with a look of admiration for Xia Ziqiu, Xia Ziqiu nodded again and again.

"You can come whenever you want, but remember not to fall behind in your homework, Uncle Xia doesn't look at your words as good as your eldest brother, Changyu, this is the bud of your uncle's family, you take it back, there is nothing unusual about your uncle's family, this is home-grown, there are only three of us in the family, I think you seem to like this thing, just take some back."

"Thank you, Uncle Xia."

Xia Ziqiu took a few ears of corn, and Zhou Xiaopang also took a few ears of Xia Ziqiu's roasted corn, although it was cold, but this little fat man was reluctant to let go, it was the first time he ate this thing, it was strange.

The brothers left happily, Xia Xuege wiped his sweat, Zhou Xiaopang, don't come to my house again, you are more difficult to serve than your ancestors! I'm still a little sister? Sister doesn't know how much older you are!

The chickens in the backyard are naturally fine, but Xia Ziqiu is afraid that the chestnuts are chronically poisonous, and said that she will observe them for a few more days, Xia Xuege didn't ask for anything, and took a small stone mill to peel the shells of the chestnuts she picked in the afternoon and grind them into powder.

Every day is to go into the mountains to pick chestnuts, and after leaving life, he still follows Xia Xuege, and the corn at home is a lot less after paying the field tax, but the rations for the three people are completely enough, but Xia Xuege's family does not use corn as rations, this corn is just a dish.

Some of the fresh corn that was not peeled was put into the ice cellar by Xia Ziqiu and was ready to be eaten as a dish.

"Dad, it's been five days, why don't you believe it!"

Xia Xuege complained in front of the chicken coop, it's been five days, and the chickens and ducks at home are naturally alive, but Xia Ziqiu still doesn't believe that chestnuts can be eaten.

"It's only been five days, what are you anxious about, those books sometimes make mistakes."

"I don't have to hurry, Dad, it's going to be cold in a few days, I don't want to run into the mountains on a cold day, I'm afraid of the cold! Even if he is older than me, he is only twelve years old, and he can't pick many chestnuts, Dad, why don't you believe me! ”

Xia Xuege pouted, Xia Ziqiu was helpless.

"Okay, okay, don't you just want this chestnut? Dad will pick it for you, but it's okay, let's see it for another five days, if our chickens are okay, I'll dig the tree back for you even on a cold day, but you are not allowed to eat it first! ”

"Uh-huh, Dad, you're the best!"

Sent a good person card to Xia Ziqiu, Xia Xuege happily carried a basket on her back and took the family of three to the mountains.

There is Xia Ziqiu, an adult, Xia Xuege's back basket will be full in a while, Lisheng is obviously with Xia Xuege, as soon as the back basket is full, he will send it back to a back basket, and then there is a new one, Xia Ziqiu wanted to fool Xia Xuege, but it didn't work.

After five days of busyness, Xia Ziqiu was still not at ease, Zhou Changyu also came, taking Zhou Xiaopang with Zhou Changqing, Zhou Xiaopang was not stupid to death in the end, and came up with a method that Xia Ziqiu and Xia Xuege hadn't thought of, and took a silver needle to test for drugs!

However, these chickens were raised by Xia Xuege to lay eggs, and they were willing to be killed, so Zhou Changyu had to let Lisheng hold the chickens, and he pricked the needle to see if the chicken blood was poisonous.

It turns out that Xia Ziqiu thought about it a lot, this thing is really non-toxic, Xia Xuege has a good heart, and clamoring to make chestnut cakes. (To be continued......)
