Chapter 021: Returning with a full load

The next day, the cuckoo was awakened by a loud noise.

When I opened my eyes, it was still dark outside, and there was an oil lamp in the house.

Mrs. Feng was dressing up, not combing her hair and wearing flowers, but preparing for entering the mountain, her arms and legs were tied tightly, and her body was tightly protected, and she also instructed Feng: "You can take care of this meal for a while." When I'm hungry in the morning, I scoop up another bowl of chicken soup and eat it, and my mother should come back. ”

Feng was eating with a bowl and didn't answer.

After Mrs. Feng finished speaking, she turned her head and instructed Huang Qi'er: "Qi'er, stay at home." Listen to what your mother is going to do, help run errands. When it was dawn, I asked Aunt Lin to come over and help feed my sister. I got all the eggs ready, and when I went, I brought them over, and I said that my grandmother asked me to send them......"

was pulled up so early, Huang Que'er was not sleepy-eyed, she was very energetic, and she couldn't stop nodding her head with her grandmother's advice.

Outside, the men were also busy, asking each other questions:

"All the ropes are taken?"

"Got it."

"What about knives? Put the knife away, don't lose it. ”

"Mingying, this basket is yours, don't forget to carry it when you leave."

"Xingfa daughter-in-law, pack all the food. Eat again on the way. ”

……

As if afraid of waking up the villagers, everyone lowered their voices and their voices were dull.

After a while, I finally felt that it was right.

But Feng Changshun was not satisfied, and complained: "If there is a dog, how good it would be to take it into the mountain." Son-in-law, didn't my father say you, a mountain man, how can you not have a dog! ”

Feng Xingfa also felt that this was a pity, so he laughed at his sister-in-law's incompetence: "I see that everyone else has fed it." You're afraid of trouble. Just feed two people, and feed the finches like a yellow-haired ghost. ”

Huang honestly smiled and said, "When you come back, you will catch a dog and raise it." ”

The tone was very apologetic, as if it was too late to wake up, and even if a dog was caught immediately, it could not be fed immediately and taken up the mountain, so he expressed guilt.

Finally about to set off, Feng Mingying ran into the room like a gust of wind, and whispered to Mrs. Feng with an irrepressible excited voice: "Mother, hurry up!" Daddy shouted and left! ”

Mrs. Feng hurriedly picked up a package on the box and said, "Just come." Just come. ”

While pulling the placket of her clothes and walking out, she also told Feng that she would come back soon and let her daughter not be in a hurry or something.

Feng Shi said angrily: "Mother, let's go!" I'm not a baby. ”

As the door opened and closed, the chaotic footsteps in the yard faded away; Then, alarmed by the early risers, a wave of dog barking sounded in the village, but the Huang family fell silent.

The cuckoo was also aroused by them, but it was impossible to follow, so he could only get some impressions from the words of the crowd, and tried to imagine picking tea, breaking bamboo shoots, chopping wood, etc. I didn't appreciate the hard work of the work, but it was very interesting to imagine.

When Huang Que'er came back from closing the door, Feng said, "Que'er, come and sleep for a while." ”

So, the mother and daughter slept again.

Although everyone was gone, everything was arranged when they left, and Feng didn't worry about it as he did in the first two days, and he slept and rested and raised his confinement with peace of mind.

The waiting time was not long, after breakfast, the mother and mother just slept again, and when they woke up, Mrs. Feng and Huang Laoshi came back.

Mrs. Feng stopped going up the mountain when she came back, and Huang Laoshi sent her mother-in-law back, carried the tea she picked back by the way, and then hurried into the mountain again.

Although Mrs. Feng was tired, she was very happy, and excitedly told her daughter how much tea she had picked, how bright the tea leaves were, etc., "We ran two hills and picked two baskets." If it weren't for the fact that I was at home, I would have wanted to pick it somewhere else. It was your father who said, let's not sell it again, but fry it and drink it yourself, there are so many, enough to drink for a year, I didn't go, and I have to chop wood. ”

Outside the mountain, it is better to say that this tea is not something that ordinary people can afford to drink. Now that he is relying on his son-in-law, the Feng family can also have tea to drink, can they be happy?

Feng Shi saw that his mother was full of excitement, and smiled and said that when he was free in the afternoon, he would fry the tea, otherwise it would be easy to spoil if he brought it out.

Mrs. Feng smiled: "I don't know this." ”

Feng said: "It's not so difficult, it's just kneading and frying." Besides, let's fry it and drink it ourselves, and we don't sell it, even if the color is poor, it's not a big deal. ”

Mrs. Feng nodded, and hurriedly went to cook.

Subsequently, Huang Laoshi and Feng Xingfa kept picking firewood at home, and they were so tired that they were panting like cattle. After picking two trips, I couldn't pick it anymore, so I dragged it home. The corner of the yard was piled with green pine branches and other branches.

The villagers didn't understand the inside story, and when they saw it, they were honest, and their father-in-law and brother-in-law came easily, and they also caught working for themselves.

Huang is honest and proud: who let him marry the daughter of a good family, other people's families are not like this.

At noon, Father Huang was about to call his in-laws to come over for dinner, but who knew that he couldn't find anyone, so he went up the mountain to help his eldest son work. He couldn't help but be ashamed, and after eating, he called his youngest son to go up the mountain to help.

Twilight fell, and all those who had gone out returned.

The courtyard of the Huang family was lively again, and a torch with pine oil was lit to illuminate everyone to work.

It's too late to clean up the firewood, so you can only wait for it to dry Huang Laoshi and make it himself.

In addition, everyone worked together to dry a small depression and catch four or five catties of large and small pit fish. At the moment, the washing was washed, and the cooking was burning, and soon the kitchen was full of fish, and the dogs were restless again.

There are also some green bamboo shoots and mountain mushrooms, which are poured on the yard floor to clean up.

Listening to the hustle and bustle outside, the cuckoo who had slept for a day stopped drying, and screamed wow, and she didn't stop until Feng Mingying took her out.

Feng Mingying said in surprise: "Mother, look at this baby, she also likes to be lively." I was crying just now, but I stopped crying as soon as I came out. ”

Mrs. Feng was squatting on the ground with Huang Que'er peeling green bamboo shoots, and when she heard this, she raised her head and smiled: "Do you also know that she is a baby?" Babies don't all like to be lively! She doesn't understand, listening to the human voice, her heart is also steady; If you leave her alone in bed, she won't cry. ”

Feng Mingying said: "Isn't my sister in the room?" She just wanted to come out and play. ”

As he spoke, he lowered his head and said to the cuckoo: "You are a little crazy girl, a playful, a naughty ghost, a mischievous ghost, a mischievous ......"

The cuckoo, who had been crowned with a bunch of titles, turned a deaf ear and looked at it with a smile.

Under the light of the torches, there are many people in the courtyard, sitting, squatting, and standing, each busy: grandma and Huang Que'er peel bamboo shoots, father and uncle clean up the small fish, grandfather and grandfather chatting on the side, talking about some things in the mountains and forests, and listening to people with relish.

My aunt banged the spatula in the kitchen, and the spicy smell of fish went straight to her nose, and the cuckoo couldn't help but sneeze, which made her laugh crisply.

Next door, Lin Datou's family had already had dinner, and a few masters also came to see the excitement, Xiao Lin Chun saw the cuckoo shouting excitedly, she didn't bother to pay attention to him.

Although dinner was late, it was a table of people, and Feng Chang obediently called his mother overdue, and his posture was very high and reasonable.

So, the meal was a great one.

After eating, Aunt Huang offered to help her in-laws fry tea.

She is a little old, and she is naturally more experienced than young people in doing this, so Mrs. Feng is very happy, thinking that she is still an old man who has insight and can manipulate people.

So, after the smell of rice, the fragrance of tea came out of the kitchen.

I was busy until late at night, and I don't know what time it was, anyway, the whole village was asleep, and the lights were still on in the courtyard.
