In the middle of the night, the cuckoo woke up from a sleep, but everyone had not slept yet, but had supper in the hall. Talking and laughing while eating, there is no hard work of staying up late, and the spirit is very healthy.
"This mushroom soup is fresh! It's no worse than that broth. This is the voice of Uncle Feng Xingfa.
"The in-laws will arrange it, picking tea, chopping wood, breaking bamboo shoots, picking up fungi, catching fish, and getting so many things in one day." This is grandma, with flattery in her voice.
And they burst into laughter.
Feng Changshun smiled: "How can you have that leisure!" We were going to pick tea in the morning, chop wood, catch fish and bamboo shoots, and that's all by the way. ”
Huang honestly smiled: "It's Auntie." Her eyes were sharp, and when she was chopping wood, she saw a patch of fungus, like she had found gold, and screamed frighteningly. I thought she had stepped on a snake. I picked it up, and I got a total of two catties. ”
So everyone looked at Feng Mingying and smiled, saying that she was lucky.
After eating for a while, Huang's father and Huang Er's two mouthfuls said goodbye.
Feng Changshun hurriedly called his in-laws, called Mrs. Feng and muttered a few words, so Mrs. Feng came into Feng's room and whispered to her daughter.
When the cuckoo heard her say, her grandfather had ordered her to take the materials they had brought and give them to her in-laws.
Feng Shi didn't approve or object, but said indifferently: "It's all in the box behind the bed." ”
It turns out that there are boxes and cabinets behind the bed.
Mrs. Feng went around to the back of the bed, opened the box, and took out a pile of gray dark flower cloth and a piece of red flower cloth out of the bed.
The cuckoo heard her say, "This is a little heart, don't laugh at the in-laws, take it to make a dress to wear." This piece of material is for her uncle, and she makes clothes for the babies. ”
So there were sounds of thanks and rejection outside, shouting like a quarrel, sandwiched between Feng Changshun's humble words, and after a while, the Huang family accepted their farewell.
Feng Changshun and the others continued to be busy, packing some bags.
Feng called Huang Laoshi into the room and instructed him to go up to the attic and get down the collection of air-dried chestnuts, hazelnuts, walnuts, dried bamboo shoots and dried wild vegetables. These were originally saved last year, and they were specially kept for the mother's family to come to give the confinement gift, so that they could take it back. There is nothing else in the mountains, so you can only use these mountain goods for human relations.
After a busy mess, everyone fell asleep and the surroundings were completely quiet.
Early the next morning, the Feng family's mother-in-law and daughter-in-law got up early again and got some food for everyone to eat. Feng Changshun and the others drove the two donkeys, the bamboo baskets were still full, and set out on the return journey.
Mrs. Feng said that she would stay and take care of her daughter; Feng Mingying was coquettish, pestered her father and mother for a while, and stayed.
When Feng Changshun's father and son left, Feng also got up and came out, Feng Mingying hugged the cuckoo, and Feng Pozi Huang Que'er stood at the gate of the courtyard to see each other; Huang Laoshi set off with his father-in-law to give them a ride.
There are people looking at the door of people's homes near and far, and Lin Datou next door is carrying a hoe to the ground, seeing them come out, he hurriedly followed a few steps, and stepped forward and asked enthusiastically: "Her grandfather, this is leaving?" Stay a few more days? ”
Feng Changshun replied with a smile: "I don't want to stay for a few days!" It's just that you can't leave it at home. ”
Lin Datou said, "Come again." I haven't seen you go into the mountains for a year. ”
Feng Changshun sighed: "It's too far, and the road is difficult to walk." ”
As he spoke, he saw Father Huang and his wife Huang coming over from the village, carrying two straw bags and putting them on the back of a donkey, saying that they were some mountain goods, and they couldn't take them, so let the in-laws not dislike them.
After greeting politely, Daddy Huang and the others repeatedly told them to come back to play, and Feng Changshun also asked them to take care of their daughter, and then the two sides waved goodbye.
Father Huang and the others watched their in-laws' family go up the mountain road before turning around and returning to the village.
Here, Mrs. Feng instructed Feng Mingying: "If you don't leave, you can't eat idle dinner." It's a good day today, my mother removed the quilt on your sister's bed, and this matter is yours. Washed me clean. ”
The big-headed daughter-in-law was walking over with Lin Chun in her arms, and she laughed when she heard the words.
Feng Mingying was a little shy with laughter, and muttered in a low voice: "Wash it!" ”
The eldest daughter-in-law entered the hall, talked a few words to her grandmother, sat behind the door, unbuttoned her chest, and put Lin Chun in the right position before saying to Feng Mingying: "Sister, feed me the flowers." ”
Feng Mingying handed her the cuckoo.
Seeing that Lin Chun didn't eat it, the cuckoo looked at her with a smile, looking like she was waiting for her to "eat with milk", which was very funny and helpless.
She ignored him, and when she got to Aunt Lin's arms, she sucked the milk and sucked hard.
This is in exchange for eggs, don't eat it for nothing!
While eating, he squinted at Lin Chun.
Sure enough, when the boy saw her eating, he immediately turned his face, and he didn't look at it with his eyes, but only groped his mother's nipples with his mouth by feeling, and he also ate hard, but his eyes were aimed at the cuckoo.
The cuckoo wanted to laugh a few times, but thought that it was a big deal to eat, so he held back.
The eldest daughter-in-law saw that the two babies had eaten, so she talked to Mrs. Feng, who was busy.
Seeing that she really changed the sheets and quilts on Feng's bed, carried the cotton wool to the sun to dry, and ordered Feng Mingying to take a wooden basin to soak, she said: "When it is done, I will take my sister to the village to wash." We wash our clothes here from the spring river in the village. The river is big, and it is paid off. ”
Feng Mingying didn't squeak.
The eldest daughter-in-law looked at her and said, "If the sister is shy and thinks there are many people in the village, then let's go to the east of the village." There is a small river that goes around the outside of the village, called the Dam River. The water is shallow, and it is easy to wash. ”
As he was talking, a baby herding cattle came back from the village road outside the courtyard, sat on the back of the cow, and shouted to the Lin family: "Qiusheng, have you eaten?" After eating, let's go to the pigweed! ”
There was a voice from next door, "I've eaten it." When to go? Asked back.
The cow herd said, "Wait for you to come to my house." I'll leave when I'm eating. ”
Qiusheng answered again.
The eldest daughter-in-law didn't think that this matter had anything to do with her, and she didn't think about it so much, so she still gossiped with Mrs. Feng, who washed the quilt, and talked about the past years, harvests, etc.
At this time, a black boy of six or seven years old, with a pigtail on the top of his head and short hair around him, carried a bamboo basket wider than his back, ran to the courtyard of the Huang family, and shouted to the house: "Mother, I went to hunt pigweed." ”
This is Lin Qiusheng, the eldest son of the Lin family. The big head is very similar to his father.
The big-headed daughter-in-law glared and shouted, "What kind of pigweed?" You just want to play in the air. Stay at home, don't go! When the mother wants to go down to the river to wash clothes, she will go to the garden to pick vegetables, come back to cook, and many things. You ran away, who took care of Xia Sheng and Chun'er? ”
The children of the Lin family, named according to the season in which they were born, now have autumn, summer, and spring, and there is only one less winter.
Lin Qiusheng hesitated when he heard this, turned his head to look at the village, and was very reluctant.
Spring is a budding season, and the mountains, rivers and fields outside the village have infinite allure for the little baby. At this time, not letting him go out, but taking care of his younger brother at home, is simply a punishment. Besides, he thought, he didn't go to play, he dug wild vegetables and came back to feed the pigs, not to mention the bud husk, and he could also break some bamboo shoots and fry them.
The little baby thought about it for a while, and felt that she was doing "the right thing" and was not playful; When he turned his face, he saw the second brother Xia Sheng coming out of the yard, carrying a delicate small basket, shouting "brother, brother", running straight under his feet, shouting that he was going to hunt pigweed.
Lin Qiusheng had an idea, and hurriedly said to his mother: "My brother sleeps, ask Xia Sheng to watch." The finch can do the work, why can't he do it? ”
In one sentence, everyone in the Huang family house laughed, and Huang Que'er's face was red.
