Chapter III
The next morning, when it was still dark, Meng Yao woke up. The pen % fun % pavilion www.biquge.info touched the position next to him in a daze, it had already become cold, Meng Qingxuan didn't know how long it was, Meng Yao climbed down with half-squinted eyes and grabbed the edge of the kang, put on her shoes and went out of the room directly, usually Meng Yao slept until she woke up naturally, no matter what, she got noon, if it wasn't for Meng Qingxuan's promise to take her up the mountain yesterday to be excited, how could she not get up so early and never knew what Meng Qingxuan was doing when a child got up so early, if she didn't sleep much, she couldn't grow tall, Meng Yao was inexplicably worried that Meng Qingxuan wouldn't grow tall in the future while closing her eyes and calling out: "Brother, brother."
Suddenly, the courtyard door creaked open, and Meng Qingxuan came in with two small buckets that might have been specially made, and was a little stunned when he saw Meng Yao standing in the courtyard. "Tuan Tuan woke up so early today." Meng Qingxuan smiled at Meng Yao and bent his eyes. Meng Yao was still a little confused, and instinctively rushed towards Meng Qingxuan.
"Why don't Tuan Tuan come out without wearing a coat, how can it be good if you catch a cold." Meng Qingxuan watched Meng Yao run out with only her underwear, frowning and worryingly touching Meng Yao's somewhat cold little face.
"I can't see my brother when I wake up, and Tuan Tuan is anxious to find my brother." Pouting aggrievedly, Meng Yao stepped forward and hugged Meng Qingxuan's waist and lied coquettishly.
Helplessly, he pinched Meng Yao's nose, put down the bucket on his shoulder, and hugged the person in his arms: "It's cold in the morning and evening these days, be careful to drink bitter medicine when you're sick." Carrying the person back to the room, he wrapped the person in the quilt first, and then got up and took out the clothes that had been stacked on the kang head and put them on Meng Yao.
"Hey, it's not cold. The palms are warm. Meng Yao stretched out her chubby hand to cover Meng Qingxuan's face, making him feel the warmth of his palm.
"Tuan Tuan looks so happy today." Meng Qingxuan relieved his heart, put Meng Yao's little paws in his hands and rubbed them. Looking at Meng Yao with a smile, her face was ruddy, and she no longer looked as morbidly white as before. Meng Yao found that Meng Qingxuan's skin was really good, his big apricot eyes were bright, his eyelashes were thick and curly, and the deep dimples on his lips were when he smiled.
Meng Yao couldn't help but grin. "Go to the mountains with my brother and have fun." Meng Yao's face was full of excitement, and her small body swayed back and forth.
"It's good to take Tuan Tuan to pick purple fruits and eat them later" Meng Yao sat down obediently and let Meng Qingxuan dress her, full of anticipation for the first time she went out in this world.
"Okay." Meng Qingxuan looked at Meng Yao's happy little face and couldn't help but pinch it again, the flesh felt excellent. Meng Yao smiled stupidly and watched Meng Qingxuan's hand squeeze more and more vigorously, and her saliva flowed.
"Brother Hui will take you to dig wild vegetables, and we will make wild vegetable dumplings to eat tonight." Meng Qingxuan took out a handkerchief from his arms, carefully wiped Meng Yao's saliva, thinking that there was still some cornmeal at home, and his sister liked wild vegetable dumplings the most.
"Okay." Meng Yao had never eaten wild vegetable dumplings in her previous life, the only wild vegetables she recognized were shepherd's cabbage, either cold salad or boiled, and I really hadn't seen other ways to eat them, in my memory, wild vegetable dumplings were the top delicious thing, thinking about Meng Yao made me feel like I was starting to drool. Meng Yao quickly wiped her mouth with it, and then found that she was really drooling without tears, although Meng Yao has always felt that life is the word "eat and wear", only eating is the most practical, especially after being a ghost for many years, but you can't mention that you are drooling when you eat, Meng Yao's whole person is broken.
Meng Qingxuan carefully dipped a soft cloth in water to wash Meng Yao's face, and carefully brushed a mouthful of millet teeth with his fingers rolling the soft cloth repeatedly, Meng Yao didn't know if there was a toothbrush in this era, there were in the space, but he didn't dare to take it out and use it at all.
By the time Meng Yao finished washing, the sky was already bright, and Meng Qingxuan brought out breakfast quickly, Meng Yao's was still a bowl of egg custard, and in front of him were two thin strips of roasted sweet potatoes.
Meng Qingxuan took a spoon and scooped up a spoonful of egg custard and fed it to Meng Yao's mouth, "It's not fragrant, the eggs sent by Aunt An are finished, it's good to buy eggs for Tuan Tuan when Daddy comes back." ”
Meng Yao almost burst into tears when she heard this, and pushed the spoon handed over by Meng Qingxuan: "Brother also eats, eat together." ”
"My brother doesn't like eggs, so I like to eat roasted sweet potatoes, which are sweet." Meng Qingxuan hugged Meng Yao and kissed her, her sister didn't hurt in vain, she knew that she felt sorry for herself.
"My brother doesn't eat it, and Tuan Tuan doesn't eat it either." Meng Yao rejected the custard with a serious face. "I'm serious." He nodded vigorously to add credibility.
"Tuan Tuan is so good." Meng Qingxuan looked at Meng Yao's little face with a funny face, how happy he looked at his fleshy face, and he didn't refuse his sister's kindness with a smile, and dug a spoonful of meaning for himself, "Look at my brother eat." ”
The two brothers and sisters ate the egg custard little by little, of course, most of it went into Meng Yao's stomach, I don't know if the raw materials are good or Meng Qingxuan's craftsmanship is not bad, Meng Yao smashed his mouth, full of aftertaste.
After eating, Meng Qingxuan put a few roasted sweet potatoes as dry food into the back basket, thought about it and took out a gourd filled with water and filled a gourd with a cool white open, hugged his sister and walked towards the back mountain, the mountain behind the village is called Nanshan, the Nanshan Village where Meng Yao is located is named after this mountain, as the saying goes, the villagers of Nanshan Village can occasionally go to the mountains to get some small prey to improve their lives in addition to the harvest in the field, but it is better than the surrounding villages and towns. The Meng family is in the south of the village, and there is still a distance from Nanshan.
Meng Qingxuan took Meng Yao and walked directly towards Nanshan, the current sky is blue that there was no in the previous life, pure as water, the blue sky occasionally a few white clouds slowly drift by, the end is refreshing, Meng Yao suddenly thought of what was written in the Peach Blossom Spring, the land is flat, the houses are like houses, and there are good fields, beautiful ponds, and mulberry bamboos. Qianmo traffic, chickens and dogs smell each other. Among them, the men and women are dressed like outsiders. Yellow hair hangs down and is happy. Isn't that an idyllic scene in front of you? The countrymen got up early, went to the fields after breakfast, went out to chatter, Meng Qingxuan took Meng Yao and called people one by one, Meng Yao was cute, and the uncles, aunts, grandparents who followed Meng Qingxuan with sweet mouths did not fall, and everyone responded with a smile: "Qingxuan, Yao girl, this is very good." ”
"Okay, I'll take my sister to the mountains to play and pick some wild fruits for Tuan Tuan as a snack."
"Qingxuan, don't take Yao Yatou to the back mountain, just look for it outside."
"I know. I just walked around the mountains and couldn't go in. Finally staying away from those people's greetings, Meng Yao sighed deeply and pinched her sour face that was smiling, small people are good, as long as she grins, others will treat her smile sweetly.
Meng Qingxuan looked at his sister's little group with a smile, but learned to sigh as an adult: "What can make us worry?" ”
"I'm so tired of laughing." Complaining as if it were true or false, Meng Yao looked at Nanshan from afar, her eyes were straight, and she saw that Nanshan was verdant, the mountains were extended, and the large green was very shocking in the eyes of her, a person who lived in a reinforced concrete city in her previous life: "Brother, go up and go up." Meng Yao pointed excitedly at the mountain. Let's go up there. ”
"Tuan Tuan is not allowed to go deep in the mountains, but there are man-eating beasts on the mountains." Meng Qingxuan warned Meng Yao very seriously, he was afraid that people would go to the mountains to play if they were too young and ignorant. "I take it with me to play in the mountains, you know." Meng Yao pursed her mouth, let's wait until her body grows up.
Nanshan is divided into the front mountain and the back mountain, the people of Nanshan Village like to chop firewood and pick some wild things in the periphery that is the front mountain, the wild vegetables at the foot of the mountain have long been dug up by the villagers, those wild fruits that can be eaten have long been picked back by a group of half-sized children as a snack, even the pheasants and hares These small things are also not lightly harmed, some hunters in the village are mostly going to the back mountain to find some big things, but since a few years ago the hunters in the village went to the back mountain to hunt and were eaten by wolves, now few people dare to run to the back mountain.
Meng Qingxuan took Meng Yao and walked inside, and as soon as he turned around, he saw a gentle slope, Meng Yao only saw a large number of grapevines densely intertwined, and clusters of purple and blackened wild grapes were hidden in a greenery. "Grapes." Meng Yao's eyes lit up and he twisted his body and got down from Meng Qingxuan's body, and with a clever skill, he got under the grapevine. Impatiently, he picked a grape, wiped it on his body casually and threw it into his mouth, and the sweet and sour juice instantly overflowed his mouth. The grapes were much sour compared to the ones he had eaten in his previous life, but Meng Yao especially liked this kind of sweet taste in the sourness.
"This is a purple fruit." Meng Qingxuan smiled and looked at his sister's happy appearance, although this place is a bit off, but it is really worth it to look at his sister's smiling face.
"Purple fruit?" looked at Meng Qingxuan suspiciously.
"People in the village call this purple fruit, but my mother said before that this is also called grapes, which can be made into fruit wine, which is the most suitable for girls to drink, and it was brewed when my mother was there." Meng Qingxuan's voice was full of pride, Meng Yao felt a thrill in her heart, her cheap lady knew grapes, and she could make wine, she wouldn't have crossed over like herself.
"Brother, what does my mother look like, can you tell me more about my mother's parents." Meng Yao tugged at the corner of Meng Qingxuan's clothes with anticipation.
Meng Qingxuan listened to his sister's soft and glutinous voice, and thought that his sister died just after she was born, "My mother is beautiful, no one in the whole village can compare, Tuan Tuan looks like my mother, my father said that Tuan Tuan and my mother look exactly the same, do you know." "My mother is the most beautiful." Meng Yao echoed.
"The dishes made by my mother are delicious, and the signature dish of the county's guests is the recipe sold by my mother, when my mother was in the past, the dishes made every day were not the same, but unfortunately I couldn't eat them." Meng Qingxuan touched the top of Meng Yao's head.
"My mother is so amazing."
"My mother can also make clothes, embroider beautiful flowers on them, as if it were real, my mother made a lot of clothes for Tuan Tuan, but unfortunately you can't wear them now when you're older." Meng Qingxuan was only a ten-year-old child after all, and he began to choke as he spoke, hugging Meng Yao tightly and burying his face deep in his neck, his voice was full of nostalgia for his mother, Meng Yao obviously felt the wetness of his neck. "Tuan Tuan, you have to remember that my mother is the best mother in the world, and my mother is cute."
"Tuan Tuan also loves his mother, Tuan Tuan still loves his father, Tuan Tuan still loves his brother, Tuan Tuan cooks for his brother and makes clothes." Meng Yao kept repeating, trying her best to dispel the sadness of the young man in front of her. But I felt a little aggrieved in my heart, selling recipes and making wine, and the more I listened, the more I felt routine.
"My mother said that girls have to be pampered, and men have to rely on men for rough work like cooking." The corners of Meng Yao's mouth twitched, looking at Meng Qingxuan with a smile in her eyes, and her face was serious: "My mother also said that a good man is to get out of the kitchen and enter the hall." ”
Meng Yao really wanted to say yes. I wasn't sure that now it's quite certain that the cheap mother must have crossed over, and now this world believes in a gentleman who cooks far away, and such avant-garde thinking is obviously the standard of a good man in the previous life. It sounds like a cheap lady is still quite capable, according to the routine, she is not the second generation of power now, but also the second generation of wealth, because Mao's family is so poor, she gave me the beginning of the routine and the end of the routine for Mao not to give me, Meng Yao felt very sad, did she use it up to see a doctor, Meng Yao kept complaining that at this time, the family was ruined and the family was ruined, and she secretly swore that she would definitely use the space to stop her family from getting sick.
"Okay, I'll pick more purple fruits for Tuan Tuan to take back to eat." Meng Qingxuan eased his emotions and kissed the top of Meng Yao's head with a smile
"Okay, pick a lot, a lot." Meng Yao dragged out her tone, and kept stuffing grapes in her mouth.
When Meng Qingxuan picked half a basket of grapes, he found that the little girl had spit out the grape skins on the ground. The black lines on his face stopped Meng Yao from continuing to stretch out to the claws of the grapes, "Tuan Tuan, you have eaten too much." ”
"Hey, it's delicious." Sneered and retracted his paws. The sequelae of being a ghost for too long is that you can't control your appetite and eat it if you don't care.
"It's delicious, and you can't eat it like this." Meng Qingxuan poured some water from the gourd, dipped the handkerchief, and wiped the juice from Meng Yao's hands carefully. "Take these back and eat them, and you can only eat one bunch a day, you know."
Listening to Meng Qingxuan's mother-in-law's nagging, Meng Yao found that she was really going back more and more, dressed as a three-year-old body, she herself seemed to have really become a three-year-old, but she especially enjoyed Meng Qingxuan's care, anyway, I am three years old now, I shook my head and didn't think about anything else, and looked at Meng Qingxuan with a stomach that was holding my stomach, "Then let's go dig wild vegetables now." ”
"I'll dig some wild vegetables here, Tuan Tuan, you don't have to go far here." Meng Qingxuan touched Meng Yao's bulging belly and was a little worried, he was worried that his sister ate too little, but now he is worried that his sister will eat too much.
Although this place is also considered to be the periphery of Nanshan, it is already quite close to the back mountain, usually few people come, wild vegetables are not only many varieties but also fat, Meng Yao looked at it for a long time and recognized the shepherd's cabbage, pulled out the shepherd's cabbage along the rhizome like a radish and sent it to Meng Qingxuan to offer treasure. "Brother, look."
"Yo, Tuan Tuan knows wild vegetables, it's really capable." Meng Qingxuan looked at the wild vegetables that were obviously a little old with a smile. "The wild vegetables dug up must be delicious."
"Then I'll look for it again." Meng Yao was praised, happily showed a mouthful of millet teeth, and threw the wild vegetables she found into the back basket.
Meng Yaodong looked around and pretended to dig wild vegetables and moved one or two from the space from time to time, and when Meng Qingxuan's attention was no longer on her, he quickly threw the two pheasants under the tree, and threw seven or eight wild eggs in the grass nest by the way. After the release, he pretended to be surprised and called Meng Qingxuan: "Brother, chicken." ”
Meng Qingxuan followed Meng Yao's voice and looked over, and sure enough, he saw two pheasants walking under the tree, and he was not afraid to see people passing by, and he was looking for food on his own, Meng Qingxuan easily tied the two pheasants and threw them into the back basket. "This pheasant is so stupid, he doesn't know how to run." Meng Qingxuan pulled a few times in the grass, and sure enough, he found the wild eggs hidden by Meng Yao again, and Meng Qingxuan, who was unexpectedly happy, kissed Meng Yao twice: "Tuan Tuan is really a little lucky star." ”
Looking at Meng Qingxuan's happy appearance, Meng Yao felt comfortable from the bottom of her heart, "Come and catch chickens every day." ”
"Okay." Meng Qingxuan didn't refute either, with a gesture that his sister was happy.
