Chapter 078: Home Alone (1st Update)

PS: First of all, thank you to all the book friends for their great support to the wilderness!

Xie Lu Xie "Net? Lotus", "Newcastle", "Anque MM" children's shoes peace charm;

Thanks to "Net? "Lotus" sachet of children's shoes;

Thank you also for the pink tickets of "tweetyc", "ttoohc", "Kang Qiqi", and "even drop" children's shoes.

I asked about the doubling of pink at the end of the month. Yuan Ye only heard that the pink ticket would be doubled at the end of the month, and in that case, it would be a bit difficult to add more according to that number. So, Yuan Ye thought of a compromise: this plus will be cut off before the pink doubles. If you have a favorite author, you can vote for pink to them, and do your part for their book to make a pink list.

However, during this period, at least two more wilderness will be maintained every day, so what do you have to worry about!

Huang Que'er washed her hands and sat down, and Du Juan hurriedly handed her a pair of chopsticks and suggested, "Sister, you eat mushrooms first." The mushrooms are delicious. ”

Today's mutton is roasted with mushrooms that Feng has just picked back.

The mushroom itself is tender and easy to taste, and it is boiled in the soup to absorb the umami of the meat, so the taste is better than the meat.

Huang Que'er tasted it, nodded and said, "Hmm." Like meat. ”

She didn't know how to describe it, so she compared it to meat.

"The taste of the meat is sucked in by the fungus. ”

After eating the mushrooms and eating another piece of meat, Huang Que said: "It's better than rabbit meat." ”

"That's better! There is a lot of rabbit meat (rough meaning). This is black goat meat. Feng answered.

She put the lentils in the pot and turned her head to see that the sisters were eating deliciously. With a joyful smile on his face, tenderness filled his heart. They took the big bowl of mutton on the stove and poured the meat and mushrooms into their small bowls.

The cuckoo hurriedly stopped: "No need to carry it." Mother. We'll eat it when we're eating. ”

He approached Huang Que'er and suggested, "Wait a minute, let's eat it in soup." ”

Huang Que'er imagined the appearance of the broth and rice, nodded and smiled knowingly, showing her little tiger teeth, very cute.

Although her skin is not as white as a cuckoo, it is very smooth, no longer as dull as before, her hair and eyebrows are also much brighter, and her little nose looks very delicate.

The cuckoo grinned and reached out to help her brush her hair. Straighten out the forehead bangs.

She treats herself as an adult and often teases her little sister to joke, but Feng only treats her as a little baby. At this time, he twisted a hot hand towel, pressed her little head in his arms, covered her face with a hot hand towel, and wiped it vigorously, "Look at this mouthful." ”

"Ouch, it hurts!"

The cuckoo held her breath first and let her wipe her face. But he couldn't help but scream.

The gray cloth hand towel was patched, and it was very rough, which was really hurtful to her tender face.

Feng let go of his hand when he heard this, and looked at the hand towel. Looking at the girl's tender face again, I also felt unbearable, so I said: "Go back and find a good cloth to wash your face." ”

The cuckoo nodded hurriedly and said, "Xie Lu, Xie Niang." ”

After sending a big bowl of mutton to the Lin family. The family ate in harmony and beauty.

Xu is living a good life recently, and the family is also harmonious. Huang was inspired. After stuffing three bowls of rice, put the bowls down. smiled at Feng's family: "Finch, mother, I will also go up the mountain with you tomorrow." The work in the field was pressed for two days without trouble. ”

The cuckoo immediately shouted, "Dad, you go, my sister and I are at home to watch the door." ”

Feng didn't squeak.

Seeing that everyone was in a good mood, Du Juan planned the future of the Huang family, and said with a smile: "Mother, wait for next year, let's raise two pigs." Kill one head during the New Year, and kill one head in July and August. Meat is eaten all year round. ”

Feng Shi looked at her and said, "Look at what you can." Count you all day long. Feed two pigs, what to feed? ”

Huang Que'er hurriedly said: "I'll go hunt pigweed." ”

Feng Shi gestured to the house: "Still beating pigweed, look at this house, maybe there is someone left?" ”

The cuckoo smiled: "Mother, I have grown up too." My sister and I, one is a housekeeper and the other is a pigweed, why can't it be? ”

When Feng Shi heard this, although he was not serious, he was also happy, and said with a smile: "You have grown up? It's not even the height of the table, but it's grown up! ”

She's so strange: this girl has been talking since she was able to speak, and she has a set of mouths, and she doesn't know who she learned from her. When you think about it, she's not even two years old.

In the following days, the two husbands sang and followed the wife, went up the mountain to pick mountain goods for a few days, and then concentrated on harvesting corn for two days, and then went up the mountain, got up early and greedy for darkness, and had no leisure all day.

The Huang family's yard was full of autumn crops.

The cuckoo and the yellow finch looked at the pigs and chickens and did not dare to leave.

During this period, Aunt Huang once came to the door and asked Du Juan: "Where is your father?" ”

The cuckoo hurriedly brought a bench for her to sit on, and said, "Dad and mother went up the mountain." ”

Aunt Huang said with a deep face: "A man's family, he doesn't do the serious work in the field, but goes up the mountain with his daughter-in-law to do those things that don't matter." ”

Although mountain goods are important, they are not the main business, so most of them are done by women.

The cuckoo smiled: "Our family is poor and we have little grain to harvest. My father wanted to get more mountain goods, and took them out to ask my grandfather to sell them for salt and buy cloth. Unlike grandma's house, there are many fields, and the second uncle can work as a carpenter to earn money, so he lacks nothing. Our family is so pathetic. ”

When Aunt Huang heard this, she stared at the little girl like a ghost.

The cuckoo looked at her with pure eyes and asked curiously, "Grandma is here?" But let's see if I'm done with my work so I can help? ”

Aunt Huang almost opened her mouth to scold when she heard this, but she held back it.

For some reason, she looked at the little girl's smiling face, and she spoke with reason, and she couldn't scold it; Huang Que'er is different, she scolds when she opens her mouth. So when she saw her coming, Huang Que hid far away.

"It's okay. I'll take a look. ”

Her son is not there, and she is too lazy to talk to a little doll.

When she turned to leave, she suddenly saw a few hens squatting on the head of the courtyard wall, with shiny red hair, obviously a hybrid between domestic chickens and pheasants, so she stopped.

"You chickens are well fed. There are more than thirty of them? She asked.

"Bh. More than thirty of them. It's almost gone. The salt that my grandfather brought gave my grandmother some and some of the pickled pork for the Chinese New Year. Not anymore. We don't have money to buy salt, so my mother wants to exchange chickens for salt; I have no clothes to wear. also with chickens; In winter, there is no cotton to make a quilt, so you have to change it with chickens; The tables at home are unsteady. The bed was also broken, and there was no money to find a carpenter to make it...... Grandma, you're gone?? Grandma, how much bacon do you have in your house? Grandma, when will the second uncle be free-"

The last sentence was shouted at Aunt Huang's back, because she had already turned around and walked away when Du Juan said that she had no money to buy salt.

The cuckoo chased her and asked, if there was more bacon, she still wanted to borrow some bacon; If the second uncle is free. It's best to help with a table and bed or something.

However, Aunt Huang blew away like a gust of wind.

Can you not go?

She came to see her eldest son to see if he had time to help plough the ground, not to listen to her granddaughter's complaints.

This little granddaughter is really grinding!

Since she was born, the Huang family has not stopped since she was washed.

The cuckoo pursed his lips, thinking to himself what are you running, I won't eat you.

While muttering. While turning his head to the chicken on the wall, he said, "What are you doing in that old high place?" Let people see that you have lost your life, and see what kind of fun you have! ”

Huang Que'er held a bowl of crushed corn crumbs mixed with vegetable leaves, and looked at her sister with admiration while calling for chickens. I don't know how she had the courage to say so many words to her grandmother.

The cuckoo immediately ran over with joy to feed it himself.

This is a nest of young autumn chickens that have only recently hatched, and it is not very common. Only fifteen. If you feed it well, you can kill the chickens during the New Year. Two or three pounds of chicks. The taste is the best. Therefore, she and Huang Que took great care of it.

In the afternoon. When Huang Laoshi and Feng came back, they shouted "cuckoo" from afar.

The cuckoo hurriedly rushed over, laughing with a mouthful of fine rice teeth, and his eyes were crooked, "Dad, have you got something good?" ”

"Yes, there's good stuff. You see. ”

Huang Laoshi rested the bamboo basket on his back and motioned for Feng to show it to the cuckoo.

Feng Shi also had a smile on his face, took out his turban from the corner of the basket, wrapped a large bag, and muttered. When I opened it, it was full of red and bright hawthorns, more than two catties.

"This is what I found. Two large trees, all the red ones were plucked. There are also those that are not red, so they are not picked. I'll pick it up when I get back later. I remember that place. Huang honestly smiled and showed his skills.

The cuckoo is broken, and now that she's grown up, she can eat this.

So Huang Que'er fetched water to wash her father's face, poured tea again, and took out the boiled tea eggs--Du Juan instigated Feng to cook it again, saying that it was easy for people to worry if they didn't eat it--After serving her father and mother, the two sisters cleaned up those mountain goods in the same way.

The two sat under the eaves, drinking tea and resting, eating tea eggs, looking at the two girls, and laughing.

I don't know why, they are still working as before, but they always feel that the days are different, and they feel very energetic when they enter this courtyard.

After thinking about it, I think it's my daughter who has grown up.

Now when I go home, the yard is in good order, and everything is full of life; Some people wash their faces with hot water, some pour tea and get food; Hand over a clean hand towel to wipe the sweat, the hand towel is still an old cloth, but it is always clean, revealing the breath of sunshine.

Feng also has one comfort: her mother-in-law has come a few times, but she has never been pleased.

Look at the two girls suspiciously, they are still so small!

Anyway, it's good that life is going well.

has been so busy for more than half a month, on this day, the adults of the Huang family and the Lin family did not go down to the ground, nor did they go up the mountain, taking advantage of the sun to break corn and dry millet in the courtyard.

Yellow Finch and Cuckoo also help with chores.

While the two families were working, they spoke loudly across the courtyard wall.

At this time, Qiusheng and Xiasheng shouted to find shrimp crawlers and baskets, to hunt pigweed, and to net fish and shrimp by the way.

Xiao Lin Chunfei ran into the courtyard of the Huang family and shouted, "Du Juan, come with us to the river to play." Isn't your mother at home today? ”

The cuckoo was moved, so he looked at Feng.

Feng Shi said with a heavy face: "Don't go!" What should I do if I fall into the river? ”

Lin Chun said: "I'll take my sister there." My eldest brother and second brother also went. ”

Feng Shi smiled: "You still need someone to take care of it yourself, you still take care of your sister." So what's there to do by the river? The cuckoo is a girl, how can she be like you, making mud. He looked at his feet.

The little baby didn't even wear shoes today, and walked barefoot.

Most of the time, as long as it is not cold or does not go up the mountain, the children in the village are barefoot.

Du Juan hurriedly said: "Mother, I will go with my sister and follow Qiusheng's brother and them." We don't play in the water, we pick wild vegetables. I've never been out of the game before. I want to go to the river and play. ”

Feng Shi was still hesitating, and Huang Laoshi hurriedly said, "Call her to go." ”

In the courtyard next door, the eldest daughter-in-law said in a loud voice: "Brother and sister, tell the cuckoo and the finch to go." With my family's autumn students to take care of, it will be fine. How old are the autumn students? On this day, there must be many babies by the river, either picking pig vegetables or touching fish to play, and there are adults doing work in the field next to them, not afraid. ”

Feng Shi listened, and then saw that the two girls were looking at him with blank eyes, thinking that they had always been very obedient and never went out, so he said, "Then you will go with your sister." Don't run around. Don't play in the water. If you play in the water, I'll break your legs when you come back. (To be continued......)
